"I don't think I can go on anymore! How many times are we going to be interrupted??"

There was a burst of laughter from the corner of the set. Everyone turned to see Amiboshi sitting at his laptop, furiously tapping at the keys. He laughed again. "That's so funny!"

"Brother *what* are you doing?" Suboshi looked more than ticked off.

Amiboshi turned to look at them all, "I'm having an online chat and chess game with a strange person named Ed!"

"Ed?"

"YUP! That's my name!" They all stared at the laptop, through which a girl with crazy hair and goggles was emerging. They were all shocked by this new development. "Edward Wong Hau Pepulu Tivrusky the 4th, at your service!" She said while bowing.

Everyone sweat-dropped.

"Well, that's great, but we have to finish filming so could you be a good girl and go back the way you came please?" Ed wasn't listening, as she had picked up the smell of food. She stood up and swayed turning her head trying to determine the direction from which the delectable aroma was coming.

"FOOD!!!!" Ed took off on all fours, her tongue sticking out in anticipation. The Director sweat-dropped.

"Wow! She's as bad as Miaka!"

"Tomahome!"

Everyone stared as the goggled kid became a torrent of flailing arms, feet, hands, legs, mouth and teeth. Soon the buffet table which had been piled high with food for the cast and crew was cleaned bare. There was not a crumb left as Ed sat on the table rubbing a slightly enlarged belly.

"Ummm. That was good! Is there anymore? Ed's still hungry!"

Everyone face-vaulted. "I take back what I said, she's *worse* then Miaka!" (Ya, she's almost like someone *I* know!!! *snickers* Hey! Shut up and *write* Subby!) Edward took notice of where she was and began to run around the set, climbing on cameras and stage lights and generally being a nuisance for the poor Director.

"Excuse me! Could you please go home?! I'm sure your parents are worried about you!" The Director was desperately trying to get her to come down from a light crane.

"What parents? Edward doesn't have parents! Nope! I just have Spike-person and Jet-person! Oh yea! And Faye-Faye! Whoo-hoo!" She was hanging upside down from the crane, flailing her arms madly, while making obscene faces at those below.

"Could someone *please* get her down?! We have to film *something* before this day ends!"

"Sure thing, Director-sama!" Tomahome leapt up and snatched the girl, pulling her back down to the ground. She growled at him. The Director looked her in the eye.

"Edward, I am asking you nicely. *Please* go home!"

"Noooooo!!!!!!!!!! Ed don't wanna! You can't make Ed leave!" She bit down on Tomahome's hand hard. (Author hears an audible whoop from somewhere in the distance. *come on! Ya know who it was!* Toma-haters around the world rejoice!) He screamed in pain and Ed escaped his grasp. She stuck out her tongue and scampered off. Tasuki saw this and laughed at Tomahome, whose hand was now turning red and swelling, throbbing in pain. (Rejoice! Rejoice!)

"I like that kid! Hey Toma! That looks like it hurts! Ya sure she doesn't have rabies? Ya want me ta burn ur hand off before it spreads?" Tomahome whirled on him and seethed.

"Tasuki..."

"Haha! I was just kidding! Your such a loser!" He bounced off laughing to himself.

Meanwhile Ed was wreaking havoc elsewhere. She had found herself in Nuriko's trailer. Nuriko squealed as the intruder bounded onto his dresser, knocking over the various pictures of Hotohori. Nuriko had been busy primping while daydreaming of his love.

"*What* do you think you're doing?!" he screeched. "Those are *special*!!!! You don't *touch* those!!" Nuriko was seething while Ed just tilted her head to the side and blinked innocently at the outraged Seishi.

"Why are you putting on make-up when you're a man?"

"Why are squatting on my dresser like a monkey? Didn't your mother teach you any manners?"

He was busily trying to clean up his pictures.

"Edward doesn't have a mother! But she has Faye-Faye! Actually," she eyed Nuriko carefully before nodding, "you remind me of Faye-Faye! What is your name?"

Nuriko looked up at the trouble-maker warily, "Nuriko, why?"

"NURIKO!!!! You can be my new Faye-Faye!!!!" The girl attached herself to Nuriko, who tried to escape, but failed. He resigned himself to his fate and put a hand on Ed's head.

"Umm... Shouldn't you go home though? Faye-Faye might miss you."

"Nope! Faye-Faye won't miss me! She has Jet-person and Spike-person and they're more then her patience can handle!" Ed was still glued to Nuriko. He tilted the girls head up to get a better look.

"You know, you are quite cute. I wonder....."

Minutes later finds Ed dressed in one of Nuriko's harem outfits and wearing make-up. Nuriko finished applying the mascara and then stepped back to marvel at his work. Edward looked up expectantly, the sleeves trailing on the floor. Nuriko squealed.

"Oh, you're so cute! I *knew* you'd look good in girls clothing!" She was swooning. Ed was having trouble walking and tripped over the long hem, falling onto the bed.

"Umm.... Ed doesn't feel right in this outfit. Can she change back now?"

Nuriko fixed an icy stare on the girl, "you can if you want, but I don't want you to." He sweat-dropped as Ed wasn't even listening. She was already wearing her usual clothes and was busy scrubbing off the make-up.

"Playing dress-up was fun, Nuriko! Ed's gonna go see if the others wanna play something!" she bounded out of the trailer, leaving a very confused and outraged Nuriko.

"YAY!!!! Edward is having so much fun with all of her new friends!!" Ed was busily running around talking to everyone and anyone. When she came upon the still sniveling Chichiri, she stopped and blinked, then began to stare fixedly at the t.v. he was still watching. She sat next to him and became totally enraptured in what the monk was watching. She began to robotically eat the chocolates in the box.

"It's *so* sad!!" The monk sobbed and blew his nose again. Edward nodded, and consolingly patted the mage on the back.

"It's alright! Ed is here!" The crying man, just nodded and they both turned to look at the screen. Miaka came up behind them and began to stare hypnotically at the screen. Soon they were all crying and robotically eating the chocolates. The Director approached them, having saved up the courage to demand that Ed go home. When he saw what the three were watching, he sweat-dropped and then face-vaulted.

"What are you *doing*?! There's *nothing* on that screen but *static lines*!!!!!!" The three turned to him with glazed over teary looks.

"It's more then just *lines*! Don't you *see*?! That's how I feel inside! I've felt this way since I lost Naga!" The monk outstretched his arms to the sky and cried, "OH NAGA!! MY GODDESS, COME BACK TO ME!!!!!!!!!" He sobbed and fell into a fetal position. Edward looked at him sympathetically.

"It's alright. I'm sure you'll see her again soon!"

"Yea, Chichiri! Cheer up! True love conquers all right?" Miaka was still wiping away her own tears.

"I *sniff* suppose, *sniff*"

The Director smacked his head with his hand, "iya! How am I *ever* gonna get through this?"

Edward was sneaking off, but was caught by the Director, "alright! I've had *enough*!! You are going back to where you came from!! NOW!!!!"

"Noooo!!!!! Ed don't wanna!! Ed wanna stay here!!! Ed like the food here!!!!!" she was desperately flailing her arms and legs, trying to escape. The Director carried her to the laptop from which she had entered.

"You're going back, and that's final!" He pushed her against the screen, willing her to merge with it.

"Director-sama?"

He looked up to see Amiboshi, "what is it?"

"Ummm...... you can't just force her into the computer. You have to find out where the weak spot in the linking barrier set into the micro-internet scanner is first."

The Director blinked, still holding Ed, "the weak spot in the linking what?"

Amiboshi sighed, "I think we need Taiitsu-kun again...."

"NOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! I AM *NOT* WEARING THAT DAMN HULA SKIRT AGAIN!!!!!!!" Tomahome passed out and began to twitch.

"Yea............ then does anyone know how we can find the weak spot?"

"Ooo! I do! I do!" Chiriko was bouncing up and down with excitement, "first you have put the inter-locking diethyl phthalte together with the diethyl octaacetate and then you have-" Amiboshi put a hand up to silence him.

"Chiriko! Don't tell us! Just do it, k?" Chiriko blushed then nodded, taking a seat in front of the computer. He oriented himself and then began to tap at the keyboard furiously. His small hands were a whirlwind as he searched for the weak spot. Within seconds he had located it and tapped his finger against the screen. (By the way..... I'm listening to Akai Iitsutae! *does the Sabrina dance* ya know the one she has for this song! I don't know *how* I lived without listening to it for so long?! It's *so* cool! OH yea! The cool music part just came on!!! *dances like an idiot* Long-live CHIRIKO!!!!! Damnit! Why does he have to die??!!! *Cries* oh well..... he's cool and that's why he has such an important part here!! Yea right...... But he is cool, and cute!! *hugs self* his song is sooo sad! NOOOOOO!!!!!! It's ending!!!! *Cries* Oh well.... The Cruel Angel's Thesis Remix is coming on! GO, Ayanami and Asuka!!!!!!! -_-; It's 12:57pm right now, can ya tell! Sorry for interrupting the fic! *laughs nervously* It's coming back now......)

As he expected his fingertip began to dissolve into the screen. "Yes! I did it!"

"What do you mean, 'you did it'?"

Chiriko lifted his hand to his head and laughed nervously, "well.... I knew how to do it, but I wasn't entirely sure that I could! Eh heh heh heh heh heh! I'm just glad it worked, now Edward can return safely!"

"And what would have happened if it hadn't worked?"

"Well..... the end result would have been similar to that of Lina's Dragon Slave......." he laughed again, "but it's ok, 'cuz it worked!" The Director and Amiboshi had paled, while Edward was laughing with glee.

"YAY!!!!! Dragon Slave, Dragon Slave!!!!!!!"

"It is *not* a good thing!" the Director stated as he pushed her into the screen.

"NOOO!!!!!! Ed no want to leave!!!!"

"I'm sorry, but this has to be done!" With one last push, Edward Wong Hau Pepulu Tivrusky the 4th disappeared into the screen. The Director exhaled deeply, and brushed his hands together.

"Well, now that she's gone, we can resume filming! Good work Chiriko!"

The little boy beamed at this praise, "it was nothing!"
